Was gonna say, don't remember Copperhead being female. Also, the voice doesn't sound right..These reports reference a male, not a female.

I have no faith in splash damage, this game doesn't need mp anyway. Brink was fucking terrible.
I got an invite today but when I went there it said it was too late. Now I'm getting servers problems or something. If I get it to work I will try it out.

New Batcave
Spoiler: showHanging like blackened teeth from the roof of the cave's mouth, the sea of bats angrily disperses as the Batwing roars through the interior waterfall of Batman's clandestine headquarters. The Batcave is a much larger expanse than the miniature proxy installed beneath Arkham Asylum in the first game. Iconic vehicles stand like trophies on raised platforms, his wardrobe emerges from the thick metallic walkways - enabling player's to switch bonus costumes between missions - and every inch drips with canny references placed for the eagle-eyed - which, aside from a glimpse of a newspaper cutting of the Red Hood spotted in Gotham, proves GamesTM certainly is not. But it also serves as a practical base for Batman to upgrade equipment and polish abilities. The most notable addition being Challenge Maps, a separate feature of previous entries , now accessible from the Batcave.

Knightfall Pack (Sony Exclusive)
Game looks like mote of the samr, which is good just kinda wish they made a new universe or a sequel.
I got into Batman around Knightsfall, nostalgia +1
I just got through rereading Knightfall as it happens. Good timing game...good timing. (checks room for bugs)
People actually liked Knightfall??
I was like 12 and yeah I have fond memories of it
EU CE statue looks far better then the US one.
